'So that's the vice?' he thought, cold sweat dripping down his head, 'If he's that strong, what about the Lieutenant that Aster kept mentioning?'
He didn't even want to imagine that. His hands were full with Hawk alone, talk less of a Lieutenant.
Whatever the case may be, he had to find a way to avert the crisis in front of him at the moment.
Melchior gripped Stormrage, covertly looking for any possible openings he could use to take advantage of.
